Furthermore, it is hereby clarified and agreed that the provisions made in this section shall not interfere with any ordinary course money transfers among the Borrower and any of its affiliates, and such money transfers shall not require the Lender's prior written consent. 

(n)          Further Assurances and Preservation of Security.  Borrower will do all acts and execute all documents for the better and more effective carrying out of the intent and purposes of this Agreement, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time, and will do such other acts necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral at any time securing or intending to secure the Note, as Lender may reasonably require.

(6)          The delivery of any insurance policy and any renewals thereof, shall constitute an assignment thereof to Lender and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all such policies, in all proceeds thereof and in all unearned premiums therefor.

(s)          Lockbox. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may require the Borrower to establish a lockbox under the control of Lender to which all of the Account Debtors shall forward payments on the Accounts.

The Deficiency Fee shall not be deemed to be or constitute additional interest under the Loan, as it relates specifically and directly to the required deposit balances.  In the event Borrower fails to maintain the required Minimum Deposit Relationship and the Deficiency Fee becomes due and payable by Borrower, Lender shall be entitled to either (i) set off against the Borrower’s accounts held with Lender (excluding the account established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement) in order to collect the Deficiency Fee without the requirement of notice, or (ii) send a written demand to Borrower that the Deficiency Fee be paid within ten (10) days of written notice thereof.  At Lender’s sole discretion, the Minimum Deposit Relationship may be satisfied not only with Borrower accounts, but also with accounts maintained with Lender by Guarantor or any accounts owned or controlled by the Borrower or Guarantor (collectively, the “Related Accounts”).  To the extent such Related Accounts are included in the calculation of the Minimum Deposit Relationship, Lender may exercise its right of setoff against any such Related Accounts along with any Borrower accounts.
